A highly inclined CoO2 plane orientation was realized in CaxCoO2 thin films grown on sapphire single crystal substrates. The inclination angle of the CoO2 plane orientation was controlled by changing the inclination angle of the sapphire(0001) plane with respect to the substrate surface and additionally by introducing…
